Blogging has brought a new dimension to my life where I can pen my thoughts, pent up feelings, fear, pain without any fear of remorse; where I am, at times, alone but Never Really alone in blogsphere. A place that I can almost call, "Home" where I can just blog away about anything that touches my heart strings. However do remember the recipes I upload are what I have learnt and the notes are my personal notes and the remarks are my own opinion.

Brownie Cheese cake with Orange glaze

When better half's birthday was half approaching, I was very excited. I made sure that I kept the eve of his birthday & his birthday itself, free from any cake orders, so that I can spend the eve baking a lovely cake in his honour. It had to be special for that special person in my life and if it involved making an additional step ie baking the brownies & then inserting them as base for my Cheese cake which was infused with Grand Marnier, it didn't matter as I did allocate both days to be free.

So this was what I baked for him and the next day ie the birthday itself, I made an Orange glaze which was infused with Grand Marnier & poured the hot glaze on top of the cold cake & allowed it to cool & then refrigerated same!!! It was a wee bit sweet; have to do some R&D & tone it down slightly on next attempt.

The sliced Orange shreds were infused in the Orange Glaze together with the Grand Marnier then I removed same & caramalized with some sugar.

And to my soul mate, thank you for all these years of love, laughter, help, I couldn't have asked for a better half, God bless. Till my next post, xoxo, Ophelia.

About Me

Welcome to my blog. Thanks for visiting me. Hope you enjoyed reading and will appreciate any comments from you.I have, Always, been consumed by a burning desire to be an icon first, in baking and then cooking as I always believe that food is the glue that keeps the family together. It was good that I started learning baking more than 20 years ago to destress for now after retiring more than 6 years ago I am able to go full time in doing what I love best; baking and selling my cakes. Anybody can learn how to bake but genuine interest has to come from the heart and if you want your cakes or food to taste good, You have to bake/cook from the heart.
